Incredible medal return from trip
Five teams from Team Bath Rhythmic Gymnastics competed at I-star’s Butterfly Cup in Brighton. In the under-8 section, called the Caterpillar Cup, Team Bath’s pink group of Ayana, Diana, Emily, Nicole and Patricia came home with gold for their delightful ball routine. Also in the novice section, the blue group of Annie, Chloe, Megan and Myla performed an uplifting ball routine to gain another gold. For both of these groups, this was their first competition away from home. Competing in the Level 4 (National level) U12 section, were the red group of Beatrice, Emily, Eva, Hannah and Lily. They performed an exciting ball routine with lots of energy and enthusiasm and earned themselves two bronze medals, for the highest score and overall competitions. The orange group of Frances, Lola, Rosa, Vanessa and Vlada competed in the level 4 Junior section with a dramatic clubs entry, which earned them a silver medal for highest score and bronze overall. Elena, Elisabeth, Kashvi, Pelagia and Rosie from the Junior White group competed in the level 5 section, following on from their recent success at the British Championships. The quintet delivered an accomplished clubs routine and an exhilarating, crowd-pleasing ribbon display, which brought home a further three bronze medals and the overall competition. A spokesperson said: “It was lovely to see groups of all ages and abilities from Team Bath Rhythmic Gymnastics competing together and supporting each other in what was a very friendly, enjoyable and successful competition.” To find out more about joining the club, with classes for beginners from age 5, through to Elite international competition squads, visit www.cityofbathrhythmic.com or email bath. rhythmic.recclass@gmail.com.
